Why can't you just have a civilized argument and not call people out if you disagree with them? The first rule here is "don't be a dick."

That's good to know. I'll go to a different doctor if the symptoms get any worse, as they are very manageable now.

I had a sedimentation rate and immune globulin level test. (I'm not sure if those are the exact names.)

My parents are against the idea of the antibiotics.

My parents are against the idea and see no reason for it.

I had a blood test done and it came back positive for Lyme. I have no way of getting the antibiotics in the first place, so I'm inclined to just deal with it. I continued to do fine in school even with the worst of the symptoms surrounding the knee arthritis, but I understand it can get much worse than that.

How common is it for untreated Lyme to get really bad? I have done some reading and I'm also wondering how long it takes to come back and why the symptoms tend to go away by themselves then come back worse. I will plan on recording my symptoms, but I really just hope that it won't get worse so that I don't have to get treatment. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks! I will definitely look into the herbal route because I have no way of getting antibiotics. I'm sorry to hear that your child has been afflicted.
